- App1lcatlon' filed September 28, 1926. Serial No. 138,260.

4 This, invention relates to a spring rebound clip and oiler and hasspecial'reference to an improved oiler clip'of theitype shown in mypriorPatent No. 1,570,746 issued 'to me" January 26, 1926, for shackle boltand spring lubricating means. e

One important object of the invention is to so improve the constructionof the oiler clip shown in said patent that it mgiy be readily appliedto a springwithout' the necessity of disconnecting any part of theA'secorid important objectrrof the invention is to so improve saidoile'r; clip that it. may be used with or'without my shackle bolt shownin said patent; a

A thirdimporta'nt object of theinvention is to provide'improved meanswhereby the clip may be tightly-clamped to the spring With the above andother objects inview' as will be hereinafter apparent, the inventionconsists'in general of certain novel de tails of construction andcombinations of parts hereinafter fully describedgiillustrated in theaccompanying drawings end specifi- Cally claimed.

This invention consists of two rincipal parts, a body and a cap and theho y is provi-Lgd v a base portion 10 from each side of which thereextends a le 5 11', said legs being usually, iter the ordinary type ofspring, arranged eta-right. angles to the base. Both-{the baseand-legs'ere internally channeled so as to receive. a' strip -12 of feltor other suitable oil absorbing c'apilla' mate- .rial. Centrally of theexterior of lite base isvprovided a boss 13, the base and boss hav ing athreaded opening for a set screw: 14: whereon is a jam nut 15. It willbe'seen to that the leg portions ofthe felt strip termimate in spacedrelation to the legs 11 and thatjust above the ends of said .stri eachleg 11 is provided withfa transverse y ex purpose of which will be es Itending slot--16, the presentlyexplained. t The cap is of somewhatsimilar arrange 1 its-"provided with a, head 21 having" its underfa'ee-s'erratedto row; A face ratchet 22; A The bolt-body 23' isofeoblongform in crossseotion and is at slightly less" size thentheopeh-fings- 16 endlsiso that it may;- ess there;

through. Adjacent the bead the ody is res duced to form it cylindricalneckg24 which rests in the openings 16 and 18 atone side rof the neck,the. body being similarly reduced at the end and threaded as at 25 thereduged end resting in the other openings 16 and I 18. The usual nut 26is provided; for this; bolt. By this means the deviceywhenwassem i bled,maybe caused to grip the sprin tight- 1y since the bolt body may beinserte in P0- sitiitn to lie flat on the spring, and then forciblyroteted to bring the longer diameter of. the body as nearly vertical tothe spring as possible, the face clutches engaging to hold it in thisposition upon tightening of the nut26. v U

The cap is provided with a, suitable itlrireeded opening"- inwhich maybra-screwed an" oil cup 27 01 the end of my oil feed pipe'29.

By thus applying the new clamp-several of the leaves of the spring maybe'clamped together to act as auniton the rebound instead" of having todepend on a singlet-leaf w for thispurpose. Moreover,jtl1e'set screwserves, by engagement with aeenter punched or drilled depression in thespring, to prevent slipping of the clip. 1 I

There has thus been provided a simple and efficient device of the kinddescribed and 'It is obvious t at minor changes may be- .made in theform andconstruction of the within thescope claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed'as new, is: 1, Incombination, a spring clip adapted to surround a spring, a bolt passing.through. the clip revolubly and having a central eam-' like portionadapted to rest on the spring,

and exert pressure thereon upon rotatlon in onediITGCtIOIhjLIICl'IDGflDS to hold the bolt in rotated pressure applyingposition.
